A Call for Papers from the AACU

General Education and Assessment: New Contexts, New Cultures
February 23-25, 2012
Marriott, New Orleans, Louisiana
Proposals are Due June 1, 2011

General Education and Assessment: New Contexts, New Cultures invites proposals that focus on general education reform, curriculum design, implementation, and meaningful assessment.

As demands for flexibility and a willingness to change throughout higher education are heard, general education and assessment must likewise evolve and change. The world is being transformed by forces that demand interdisciplinarity, systems-level thinking, and the ability to work across cultures to apply learning to new situations. We invite faculty from all disciplines and fields, campus leaders of general education or assessment, student affairs educators, academic administrators, and educational partners from across the K-16 system to join us as we address the opportunities for creating a new vision of general education for the twenty-first century.

We invite proposals on four key themes:

* Changing Students: Demographic Trends and General Education
* Building Cultures of Faculty Engagement: Institutional Strategies
* Building Cultures of Assessment: Improving Student Learning
* Engaging Real-World Problems: General Education for a Global Century

Learn more about this conference and the call for proposals online.

For more information, please call 202-387-3760 or write to network@aacu.org.

We look forward to reading your proposals.
